A lawsuit filed by several authors against Meta centers on Meta’s alleged use of pirated books for AI training data and the technical details of BitTorrent which was used to obtain them. Yesterday, Meta filed a motion for summary judgment, while countering the authors’ request to resolve the copyright claims in their favor. Meta’s request includes new information, including the revelation that its uploads of ‘pirate’ library data were roughly 30% of the data it downloaded.
I kinda want to get a copy of this 80tb Library of Alexandria.
Nothing will happen to meta but some peoples lives have been ruined over this.
Legal person can do no wrong under this clown regime
Using upload stats from AWS is ridiculous. Bittorrent is heavy on the upload and requires more than 10% of your download bandwidth in uploads just for protocol overhead on a small number of peers without even considering seeding
30% of - what was it - 80TB? Not bad considering they claimed to have changed their configuration settings and even just leeched the lot. I hope that 24TB leak costs them very, very dearly.
Of course they’re fucking leechers, only 0.3 ratio? Pathetic
